Now you might already know that Simulation Express can only analyze one part at a time, or even one part of a multi-body part. It can only handle, basically, one item. If you want the ability to analyze a full assembly or something like that you have to go to the full version of Simulation. But in this case here we only have Simulation Express and I'm going to show you the work around to bring in multiple parts and bring the into one body. Alright, so you can see here I've created this bracket and then I've got a couple bolts here that have beeen brought in and then combined together. And that's the process.
